Set up readers for Mobile ID

To set up readers for Mobile ID, you need to:

• Enable Mobile ID in the reader configuration
• Update the reader firmware to 1100 v2.06 or above

Prepare configuration

1. Open BALTECH ConfigEditor.
   If you haven't installed it yet, you can download it here as part of BALTECH ToolSuite.

2. Create a configuration for your project.
   If you already have a configuration, create a new version.

3. Click the Plus icon > Import... and select the component Autoread BALTECH Mobile ID (for Beta Testers) that you've received from us.

   

Enter encryption key

In the configuration, you specify the encryption key from your Mobile ID account, so readers can communicate with your users' apps.

To enter the encryption key:

1. Log in to the admin web application Mobile ID Manager.
   If you don't have an account yet, contact us to request one.

2. Go to Settings.

3. Copy the Encryption key to the clipboard.

   

4. In ConfigEditor, paste they key into the Encryption Key field.

   

Package configuration with firmware

We recommend you package the configuration with the firmware. Thus, you can deploy them both in one go.

To package configuration with firmware:

1. Download firmware 1100 v2.06 or above from our website.
2. In Administrative Information, enable the option Package with Specific Firmware Version.

3. Select the downloaded firmware file.

   

4. Release and export the configuration.
   You'll receive a BEC2 file that contains both the configuration and the firmware.

Deploy configuration and firmware

Depending on your readers' current firmware, you have the following options to deploy the BEC2 file:

• On readers with firmware versions below 1100 v2.00, use Wired Upload.
• On readers with firmware version 1100 v2.00 or above, use Wired Upload or Wireless Upload.

To later deploy another firmware update, please see these how-tos for Wired and Wireless Upload.
